Worst case scenario, I can send you a patch to enable the IR, and you may have to program the remote keymap (We already have keymaps ready for 1, 2, and 3 -- only 4 needs programming, but I have that one here, and plan to take care of it over the weekend)

Please test the patch at the following location:
http://linuxtv.org/~mkrufky/pending/xc/bluebird2-ir.patch
This patch assumes that you have the MCE remote -- You can change it to the
"tiny grey" remote by changing one line in the patch. If you have one of the
other remotes, then you'll have to use lirc.
This patch should already be the bare minimum required to get this going via lirc.
Please provide feedback after testing.
